Saturday starts mostly dry, with highs climbing into the mid to upper 70s. Clouds increase this evening as southerly winds gradually calm down, and overnight lows fall into the mid-to-upper 50s.
The change starts to the west. A slow-moving storm system over Arizona will pull moisture into the region, and showers and storms will develop near the Texas-New Mexico border by Saturday evening. Rain then spreads east through Saturday night.
The severe threat is low, but a few storms could still produce locally heavy rainfall.
For people here, Saturday daytime is the easy window. Sunday and Monday bring the best chances for widespread storms, along with cooler temperatures.
The Red Raiders travel to Cincinnati this weekend, and weather shouldn't be a factor. Kickoff is at 11 am Saturday, Lubbock time. The forecast calls for sunshine and 61 degrees at the start, with temperatures climbing into the low 70s as the game goes on.
